Yasser Arafat and Ariel Sharon fought each other and killed each others peoples all of their lives.

Abed Fatah, 33, PA employee - I am so sad because he means so much to so many people. My father died 10 days ago. I am more than sad now. Arafat means life for me. He made history. No Arab leader stood with our cause. Arafat stood to fight when he was a student and a poor man. He tried everything to build freedom and our state. Israel poisoned him and history won’t forget that. But Arafat is not dead. Now I will fight for freedom by any means. But there is no leader like Arafat and the others can't be trusted.
|
Bothania Hamdan, 22, poet -- This morning when I woke up and heard that Arafat has died, I couldn’t believe it. I feel very, very sad. Arafat is everything. Arafat is the symbol. Arafat means Palestine. Arafat was a peacemaker. He worked a lot for Palestinians, for our rights. He tried everything, sometimes under such difficult circumstances. He tried the peaceful way and failed because the Israelis didn’t let him succeed. He always wanted peace.
| 
Elham Sarhan, 38, babysitter -- Today is a very sad day. Arafat fought for Palestinian people, and he never gave up and God be with him. He did great things for the Palestinian people, he fought for them, he tried and tried and he never got what he wanted. But he was a fighter. He brought us to the attention of all the world – who we are and what our cause is. Otherwise we would have been erased from the map. Arafat is in our hearts, he still exists, he hasn’t died.
